Hi - in one of my first posts over at the daz3d forums, I had asked "why would anyone use D|S when Poser 7's much better?" and it looks like it was deleted by a moderator... does anyone know the guidelines on that?

I was just asking, why would anyone use D|S when Poser's much better?  I just wanted to get some feedback from the community over there.. eg maybe there's some features in D|S I've overlooked, or something...   so far I think poser's a much superior platform.. feedback?

thx!

Here's my post from there..

Hi, I'm new to rendering, and after trying D|S, which I'm glad I did, got me into this hobby in the first place, I bought Poser 7, which is 1000% better than D|S...

Does anyone who's used both programs, say they'd ever use D|S again? Why? Poser offers animation, integrated face mapping, and is a much more complete, professional platform than D|S...

btw, if you have children, and use it for noncommercial uses, you can get Poser 7 for half price via academic discount, at academicsuperstore.com and others that sell academic software, if price is an issue.

Poser 7 is great. D|S is just substandard in all ways that count... too bad, because I took days to learn D|S before buying poser, and I've never looked back...

others? input? I'm very grateful for being able to try out a program like D|S so inexpensively, but it's like using notepad.exe vs microsoft word, kind of analogy... and since you can get P7 for less than $135 w/academic discount, why isn't everyone using Poser 7?
